The day was going perfectly.
Nick wasn't late to work and actually paid attention in the bull pen meeting. Judy asked him after they were dismissed "What's with the sudden change of heart for work?". "I had to grow up someday" Nick replied and smiled. "But not too much right Carrots?" and tussled her ears with his paw.
"You won't grow up anymore if you keep doing that" Judy said, swatting away Nick's paw from her ears.
"Are you saying that you'll arrest me Carrots?" Nick asked Judy with a smug grin on his muzzle.
"Well, I do have the authority to do that, sooo" Judy said. Nick replied "I don't think your fast enough to take me down Fluff" with a grin on his muzzle.
Judy with a mischievous grin on her muzzle said "Well then, we will just have to see, won't we" and swiftly jumped on Nick pinning him to the ground.
Judy then pulled out pawcuffs from her back pocket on her belt and locked one end around Nick's wrist and the other to the leg of a nearby table. Nick cringed at the speed that Judy had used to execute the take down she had used him.
"Carrots" Nick said smiling. "I didn't think you were that fast, your probably the fastest mammal in Zootopia" and surrendered to the pawcuffs grip on his arm.
Judy leaned down, her nose almost touching his and said "I guess I am". Judy then smiled and said "You know, I am definitely not going waste this opportunity".
"To do what Carrots?" Nick asked. Judy leaned down and reached up to Nick's ears and rubbed them the same way he always does to her.
Nick frowned at his partners action to him and said "OK, are you done yet, I want to get out of these stupid pawcuffs already".
"Almost, I just have to do one more thing" Judy replied and grinned.
"Wait Carrots, It's not what I think it is-" Judy cut him off mid sentence by swiftly leaning down and kissing Nick right on his muzzle.
She pulled away from Nick a few seconds later, breathing heavily she said "I've been waiting for the opportunity to do that for a while". Nick was frozen for few seconds, his body shaking in excitement and shock at what just happened.
Nick replied after a few seconds "What was that!?". Judy frowned and her ears drooped and said "I thought with you flirting with me all of the time-" Nick cut her off and said "Well not all of the time" and smiled.
Judy gave him a stern look and said "I just thought that you would enjoy that". Judy lowered her head in guilt and her eyes started to tear up.
"No Judy, I did enjoy that, just maybe a little warning next time?" Nick said while using his free paw to pull her chin up to face him. Judy then laughed and said "Where's the fun in that".
Nick grinned and then replied "Sly bunny" and wrapped his free paw around her neck and pulled her to him.
Both of their muzzles met int the middle, well more like Judy met Nick's like seventy-five percent of the way because Nick was still chained to the table.
As they were entranced with each other an alarm started to blare. The sudden noise jolted both of them, especially Judy because of her rabbit ears. Nick attempted to jump up from the ground knocking Judy off of him, but was yanked back down from the pawcuffs.
Nick said "I'm sorry Judy, the alarm just startled me". "Well your lucky you did knock me off of you because if you didn't I probably would of kicked you in the face by accident from the noise" Judy said half-smiling.
"Well I'm glad you didn't, by the way can you get me out of these" Nick said pointing at the pawcuffs on his wrist.
Judy said "Oh yes, sorry about that" and ran over to Nick while getting the keys out of her pocket. "No your not" Nick said and smiled. "Ya your right, I'm not" Judy said and grinned.
Judy unlocked Nick's pawcuffs and pulled Nick off the ground. When Nick got up he began to rub his wrist with his paw and said "Hey Carrots, that actually kind of hurt".
Judy replied "Suck it up" and smiled. "We should probably go and find out what the alarm is about" Judy said.
"Lets do that" Nick said grabbing Judy's paw and leading her out the door of the bull pen into the main room of the precinct.
"Hey, you don't need to grab my paw" Judy yelled and yanked her paw away from him. "Besides, I'm faster then you remember" Judy said and sprinted as fast as she could to Chief Bogo's office.
"I guess you are the fastest mammal in Zootopia Carrots" Nick said under his breath. Nick then said "Unless" and grinned.
Nick crouched down on all of his four paws and pushed off the ground with all of his energy, sprinting right at Judy.
Even with the alarm blaring Judy could hear the sound of something rushing up behind her very fast. Judy turned around and saw Nick sprinting at her, on all four paws snarling at her.
Judy braced as Nick lunged at her causing her body to fall to the ground. She looked up and saw Nick on all four paws towering above her, growling.
Nick slowly crawled towards her until he was directly above her. Looking down at her he saw her chest rising falling very fast and her nose twitching rapidly in fear.
Judy looked up at Nick directly above her and braced at what he was going to do to her. Then Nick lunged at her, Judy expecting him to playfully clamp his jaws around her neck as joke. But she didn't expect what he actually did.
Nick lunged down at her as Judy closed her eyes from fear. And then Judy felt Nick's muzzle on her own. Judy slowly opened her eyes and saw that Nick was smiling while he was kissing her.
After a couple of seconds, Nick pulled away from Judy's muzzle and Judy then said "OK, I think your milking it".
"Sure I am Carrots" Nick said as he got up off of Judy and reached out his paw to help her up. Judy accepted his paw and said "OK, now that that's over, we should go over to Chief Bogo now".
Both of them ran together to Chief Bogo's office and they both pushed open the door at the same time, seeing a VERY angry buffalo.
The Chiefs stare cutting through them like a knife, froze them in their wake. "Where have you two been, the alarm went off ten minutes ago!" Chief Bogo yelled. "So instead of locking lips you should be reporting to me to get your next assignment!" Chief Bogo yelled.
"How did you know-" Nick and Judy began to say but the Chief cut them off and said "You don't think that I just blindly trust all of my officers and don't know their every move, what do you think the camera's are for?". Nick and Judy then looked at each other with guilt written all over their muzzles, knowing that the Chief knew everything that the did in the precinct.
"So, I could suspend the both of you for ignoring the emergency alarm for that fact alone!" the Chief said. "But, since Officer Wilde decided to actually pay attention to his work for once and because you two are the only officers in the ZPD right now, I have no choice but to send you out" the Chief said.
"So I'm ordering you both right now to go on patrol in Sahara Square at the docks, unless you would like parking duty for the next four months". So I would suggest you get out of my office right now before I change my mind" Chief Bogo said.
Nick and Judy scampered out of his office as if there was bomb. After running out of the office they stopped to catch their breath in front of Clawhauser's desk. Nick broke the silence and said "So, do want to go on patrol now, or do you want parking duty?" and smirked.
"Not on your life Wilde, I'm not getting parking duty again" Judy said and punched Nick on the arm, HARD.
"OW, Carrots It's not my fault, you kissed me first" Nick protested. "True, but I'm telling anyone else that" Judy said and grinned.
"Well we better get going unless you want to Chief to permanently make us wear those stupid meter maid suits" Nick said, shuddering at the thought of wearing that orange and yellow striped vest with the annoying hat and dumb ticket machine clip.
"I'll race you to the car Carrots" Nick said and grinned. "Really, you know I'm still faster than you Slick" Judy said and put on Nick's trademark smirk. "Well yes that is true, but only when I'm not on all four paws" Nick argued. "The only reason why you even tackled me is because I let you" Judy said.
"Fine then, how about a bet, the mammal who gets to the car first gets to drive, AND, has to admit that the other is faster" Nick said. "OK Slick, when I win your going to be one sorry fox" Judy said and grinned at Nick. "OK, then shake on it" Nick said and reached out his paw in front of Judy.
"OK Nick, it's a deal" Judy said and reached out and shook Nick's paw when he suddenly pulled him towards her and whispered into her ear "There's a catch, you have to be on all four paws" and grinned.
Judy then let go of Nick's paw and whispered into his ear and said "I have a catch too" and smiled. Judy then leaned up and kissed Nick on his muzzle and then yelled "OK, GO!" and began sprinting towards the front doors of the precinct.
Nick was stunned for a second which was just enough time for Judy to get twenty feet ahead of him. Nick gasped at the bunny in front of him, the sway of her hips and the grace of her form as she sprinted on all four paws. He was completely frozen by how amazing Judy looked when she ran and just her sheer determination in her stride.
As Nick zoned out he hoped that Judy didn't see him drool a little bit as he came back to reality. He thought to himself "Sly Bunny" and smiled as he keeled down on all four paws and pushed off the ground with a incredible amount of force.
"I'm not losing this bet Carrots" Nick said to himself. "Catch me if you can Slick" Judy yelled to Nick who was slowly gaining ground behind her.
"I intend to Fluff" Nick yelled to Judy who was only ten feet in front of him. They both ran to the doors knowing that if he lost the bet then the humiliation would be unbearable because all the other mammals in the ZPD would know that a bunny was faster then a fox on all four paws.
"That's not happening Judy" Nick said through his clenched teeth as he sprinted to the entrance of the ZPD following not far behind the bunny in front of him.
